Short Post Today on the Health Debate

It is truly sad that the debate in Washington continues to center on the impact of legislation on the health care industry. What we really need is an understanding that health care is about human beings who have value and dignity. Regardless of corporate interests, a government should do what is best for its citizens. The real questions- mostly unasked in our current national debate- are about what it means to treat people with compassion and dignity. How the insurance industry fares should be very far down the list, the real question should be: how to provide for the health of a human being.
